Wine Details
Price:
$19.00 per bottle
Description:
These grapes were picked at full ripeness from carefully selected vineyards renowned for their strong pepper and raspberry character. Dove Pond, Bella, and Dusi vineyards are all low production, high quality vineyards in west Paso Robles. Dove Pond and Bella are both on Vineyard Drive, and Benito Dusi’s 80-year-old vineyard is on the west side of the Estrella River, easily viewed from Highway 101.
The lots were fermented separately in small open top fermentors, with yeasts specifically designed for high sugar zinfandel, then aged for 16 months in new and seasoned American and French oak, to give the wine structure with a gentle perfume of oak that would not overwhelm its spice. Ten percent syrah was added to emphasize the smoke and licorice character in this year’s vintage.
A blast of blackberry and raspberry flavors, with anise, sage and black peppercorn
